The test: A late spring heat wave on the east coast that saw temperatures soar to triple digits. The jersey: Craft’s new-for-2011 Elite Attack Jersey, the same jersey that Leopard-Trek rider Fabian Cancellara wore in this year’s brutally hot edition of Paris-Roubaix. The tester: Yours truly, a guy who could break a sweat while meditating in an icebox. The Elite Attack Jersey is wafer thin, translucent and impossibly light. At first glance, it’s hard to believe it could hold up under duress, pocket load or repeated washings. But once it’s on, those concerns evaporate faster than the moisture on your back. —David L’Heureux
